Southwest Airlines DING!

this is a cool little app i have it running on my pc and check it out from time to time looking for an airline fare thats really great. i haven’t bought anything from it yet but i’m sure some day it’s gonna show me something hard to turn down! i bet its great if u know u have a trip coming up and u can wait a while for being forced to take whatever ticket prices are out there at the moment.

Southwest Airlines DING!

btw, Southwest Airlines is, imo, one of the greatest businesses of this age. they have a lot going for them (never a passenger fatality [actually a rare thing with airlines], they didn’t take the subsidies offered to airlines after September 11th… because they were still profitable and didn’t want to burden the taxpayers [you/me] [the other airlines had no choice apparently]). if u look at their stock performance on the short end you’ll probably think… ah… whatever… but how bout the long term numbers:

    This is pretty cool, I’ll give it a try. I too think a lot of SouthWest Airlines…I actually went and interviewed for a programming job there once, ofcourse I didn’t get it but I would have loved working for them.
